4. Align a second marked blue batik square with opposite end of Step 3 rectangle (Diagram 1). Stitch, trim, and press as before to make a Flying Geese unit. The unit should be 4-1/2x2-1/2" including seam allowances.

7. Align a marked mottled tan square with right-hand end of Step 6 rectangle (Diagram 2; again note direction of marked line). Stitch, trim, and press as before to make a diagonal unit. The diagonal unit should be 4-1/2x2-1/2" including seam allowances.

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to make four diagonal units total.

9. Referring to Diagram 3, sew together a Flying Geese unit, a diagonal unit, and two burgundy-and-green batik 2-1/2" squares in two rows. Press seams toward burgundy-and-green batik squares. Join rows; press seam toward row with diagonal unit. Add a diagonal unit to left-hand edge of joined rows to make a block segment (Diagram 4). Press seam away from diagonal unit. The block segment should be 8-1/2x4-1/2" including seam allowances. Repeat to make a second block segment.
